Former Canyon del Oro softball standout Kayla Bonstrom was named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Second Team on Wednesday. Bonstrom now holds multiple All-American awards as well as academic honors while playing for Stanford.
____________________________________________________________
In an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level, I will update this list. These are not high school awards but college and professional awards. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS.
If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way please let me know. amoralesmytucson@yahoo.com
